Spinning in a Circle--Experience of Xing Zen Gong of the Self-Nature Gong Method

Teacher Zhu's self-nature of the gong method in the line of Zen Gong seems ordinary, practicing in a very wonderful, only a few days of practice, back to no suitable site, stopped, but I can not forget, is to remember.

That night in the square, the teacher let walk, I myself originally practiced, there is a tendency to go backward, has not been able to find a venue to release the practice (also dare not let go, or let go). The music of the square dance is very strong, usually hear no good feeling, that night with the music mess walk up, but feel so high.

The next morning, I went to the square a relaxation, on the ground to the ground, can not stand pile. The teacher taught staking after the usual, and then the teacher said to walk more, walking. I'm still walking backwards, walking so hard, feet sore and powerful. The third day as usual did not walk in.

On the fourth day, I suddenly thought of the problem of the latter's consciousness and self-awareness, and asked the teacher, "When I walk, I will automatically go where to retreat, right? The teacher said that you can't go to control it, you have to go with it (her, him?). ,

"Then how far do I have to retreat to?"

″Not necessarily, sometimes it will be a long time, it will change the movement by itself".

Well, keep practicing, to retreat on the retreat, really along with it, the feeling of retreating in circles, unlike the original back and forth back and forth. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that, but I'm going to be able to do it. Should be a donkey or mule, circle after circle, have never stopped, also unchanged. I thought to myself, "Am I a hard-working mule? How much do I get paid for pushing like this? What do you care, just push it, most of the time you have to push your neck, sometimes the left foot is harder than the right foot, and sometimes it will be the opposite.

Later, the circle is getting smaller and smaller, the floor is spinning, I'm going to pass out? No, another voice is saying, put your feet firmly, keep stepping, the spinning game begins. Gradually, the rotation is also slowed down, suddenly the footsteps along the walk up, forward, has been towards the direction of the tower (by it), and then along the tower perimeter of a circle of steps up, neck twisted to the center of the tower, on this posture, around several times, the steps someone put something there, I want to go down, do not let it, have to cross there to go, and then it is really a little bit tired, it will be leaning toward the steps, where lying down for a long time before turning back I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that.

After practicing I was full of respect for the tower, inside is a big god turtle. When I mysteriously told the teacher, he smiled faintly, nothing mysterious, it was just a circle. Self nature likes to walk in circles, I suddenly realized that practicing this kind of gong method is easy to become superstitious, fortunately, there is a teacher to point out.

After understanding the reasoning, I like to go round and round, the middle process is sometimes very abrasive, a movement repeated countless times, if you think it is in the adjustment of a certain part of the body, you will have patience, those days my knee joints began to ache, the shoulder and neck are crooked, are the corresponding parts of the problem.

The fun thing about spinning in a circle of selfhood is that the movements change as the body adjusts, and everything happens naturally.

Of course, my experience is very shallow, and can be used as a reference for those who are just starting out, so let's practice together with confidence.
